i was reading through all the asks of reg surviving the cave and like y'know there's a bunch of fics where he and sirius meet up and they try to get horcruxes safely or whatever but I'm just imagining regulus keeps on doing the most wild stunts and lighting things on fire and going wild and everyone keeps thinking he keeps dying but somehow he's never dead and no one knows what's happening because I saw him die but I also just saw him on the news setting fire to the church of england and i also got a call that the malfoy estate was burned down moony what's happening help
regulus: you should have killed me when you had the chance.
Regulus, coming up to Sirius' room before a family dinner: Are you—
Regulus: You're really wearing that?
Sirius, in a crop top and skinny leather trousers: What?
Regulus: That colour is horrible on you.
Sirius: ...
Regulus: *makes a face and leaves*
harry: i'm gonna teach my first kid how to avoid being a protagonist so he has an easier life than me
[later]
harry: ALBUS was the protagonist? shit
Regulus: write "nothing is set in stone" on my grave when I die
Regulus: its both a witty pun, AND a warning
Regulus: because I WILL be back
Narcissa: is anyone else vaguely threatened?
Snape: 'Vaguely'?
regulus brews wolfsbane potion for remus and gives him a bell like those apps that remind you to drink water
wjdhhddj i just know regulus went up to remus and just flat out asked if he could do it and remus was like uHm
one time i had a dream that my family was at a dinner party with the blacks for some reason and i had to sit next to regulus. in the dream, i didn't know him so i thought he was super boring and quiet but i quickly found out that he was the deadpan chaotic type? like he was constantly muttering absolutely wild stuff under his breath with a completely straight face and whenever that happened i'd look at him like yo tf and he'd just look innocently back at me like he never even said anything. like my guy would just casually refer to large sums of money as "smackarackaroonies" in his ridiculously posh accent with the air of someone discussing the weather and act like it was a completely normal thing to say. i was in tears lmfao
OP YOU MET REGULUS BLACK HOW DOES IT FEEL
“What he really wanted was someone like — someone like a parent: an adult wizard whose advice he could ask without feeling stupid, someone who cared about him (…) . And then the solution came to him. It was so simple, and so obvious, that he couldn’t believe it had taken so long — Sirius.” (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
